§ 35-1-308 — Dissolution and discontinuance

Any county and/or city or district health department may be
dissolved and discontinued by resolution of the board of county
commissioners and/or city governing body of a county and/or city
maintaining a county and/or city health department, or by
resolutions of the boards of county commissioners and/or city
governing board of the counties and/or cities maintaining a
district health department; provided, however, that no
department shall be dissolved within the two (2) year period
following the date of its establishment. Within ninety (90) days
after the passage of a resolution or resolutions dissolving a
department, the county and/or city or district board of health
shall proceed to terminate the affairs of the department. After
payment of all obligations, any moneys remaining in a county
and/or city health department fund shall be credited to the
general fund of the county and/or city, and any moneys remaining
in a district health department fund shall be apportioned among
the counties comprising the district in the same manner as the
cost of maintaining the department was apportioned among the
counties, and credited to their respective general funds. All
other property of the county and/or city or district health
department shall be disposed of as may be agreed upon by the
county and/or city or district board of health.
